The first song from Nelson Dilipkumar's Jailer 2, titled Ala Bolelo, was released on Friday evening. Composed and sung by Anirudh Ravichander, the peppy dance number features Rajinikanth and Shamna Kasim. The 4-minute lyrical video was released on the occasion of Onam.
Earlier this week, short promos for the song drew criticism from Keralites over the mispronunciation of Malayalam words. Many social media users questioned why a Malayali singer and lyricist were not hired for the Onam tribute, and some felt Anirudh was singing gibberish. Fans also noted an error in another promo where a backup dancer near Shamna was moving in the opposite direction.
Jailer 2 is the sequel to the 2023 blockbuster Jailer and is expected to pick up where the first film left off. The film stars Rajinikanth and Ramya Krishnan in lead roles. It is produced by Kalanithi Maran under Sun Pictures and is set for release on October 15.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both sources report the song release as a routine entertainment update. Hindustan Times provides extensive detail on the controversy over Malayalam pronunciation, while 123telugu presents the song as a straightforward video release with no mention of criticism. The measured read is that the song release is standard promotional material, with the pronunciation issue a minor social media backlash unlikely to affect the film's box office.
